Was sent a funny spam request from Amazon. My bank, huh? Interesting. Wonder who 'my bank' might be, seems like Amazon should know.
To 'confirm' my identy, I am supposed to click a link that resolves to:
http://www.amazon.com.270481.000cpom5.com/exec-obidos/signin.php?exec/obidos/flex-sign-in/ref=gw_hp_si/103-3177084-7567864?opt=a&page=recs/sign-in-secure.html&response=tg/recs/recs-post-login-dispatch/-/recs/pd_rw_gw_ur/ref=192930_1/3-3&ref=aa&emaddr=[one of my addresses].
The relevant part:
270481.000cpom5.comwhich leads to pasta only knows, but somewhere creepy no doubt.
